As I mentioned earlier, I am not "factioned" although the way all you guys keep using "faction" is suspicious to me (although maybe that's a holdover term from last game?) considering we're supposed to be killing off the guilds.

I am just as curious about why Cigaro chose me as the rest of you honestly.

Can somebody with some knownledge tell me how much and what kind of factions are we facing ? or give me a link so I can somewhat be able to follow :p

I assume at the very least the fighters and mages guilds, maybe the imperial legion, thieves guild, even the dark brotherhood (night killers?) or the blades.

When I received news that I was indeed the battlemaster, I stepped outside into the crowd and looked for a fighter. But none stepped forward. As I walked through the camp, I heard conversation, but none of fighting ability. It appeared no one was willing to introduce themselves to the battleground on its first day.

With no one willing to submit their name, I was left with no choice but to consult the Elder Scrolls. They foretold the prophecy of the great tournament, and the prophecy of the Hero of Tamriel, so I looked to see if they offered guidance for the first day of battle. And as I looked into the Elder Scrolls, a number appeared, and the number was 23. But it was just a number, and now we must discover what it means. Is it the number of the Hero of Tamriel, is today the beginning of his journey to ride Tamriel of the power of guilds? Or is the number of a guild member himself, a number that need be erased?

Explain how Cigaro got so many votes. We hardly discussed who we were voting in, so I doubt he would get that many votes if he weren't part of a faction. Especially if their are other factions who all voted for other people.

After what happened last time it would make sense that a guild member would want control. He also had other people vouching for him which seemed odd to me at the time. We should wait longer to get people talking but at this point I trust Cigaro the least out of everyone.

So we are suspicious of Cigaro and that makes us suspicious to you. Sticking up for a fellow guild member maybe?

You are suspicious because you want the position for yourselves its so blatantly obvious. Otherwise you wouldn't be scrutinizing a night one selection. I couldn't care less about Cigaro we were factioned in gladiators not Skyrim. But if you send Cigaro to the arena and he dies I think that makes Grizz the guy. (or is there another vote I forget) which makes me think that you guys are factioned with Grizz.

It would be a great twist if he was a guilded Battle Master and his plan back fired and he was forced to either kill one of his own or die by their blade.

Another thing that gets me is that if I were battlemaster I would have two people in mind to fight. It seems like Cigaro voted for Grizz according to him based on nothing and he has no input as to who else we should nominate to fight. I think Cigaro being in a guild is pretty much a sure thing.

Hell don't vote me for battlemaster. I asked for votes day one, didn't get them and that is fine. The fact that you are not scrutinizing his decisions usually I would say is suspicious but maybe you are just brothing to the max right now.

I just caught up and wanted to state that I'm suspicious of Cigaro's vote getting ability as well. DID I NOT SERVE YOU WELL BEFORE PEOPLE? Christ.

But on the whole Cigaro thing...I found this to be quite odd:

Why the **** did DUnit hop all over Cigaro's ****? First off, Cigaro didn't say anything that made me think he has any particular special knowledge of the game in his "elect me" post. If DUnit wanted to show off a reaction like this, wouldn't it have made more sense as a reply to someone listed in TH's post which cited people with obvious Skyrim knowledge? (Which didn't include Cigaro)

Good catch ATL. I could very easily see D being aligned with Cig. It seemed like members of Cigs guild pushed that game knowledge card hard day one (which I do not see as being useful at all when it comes to being battlemaster but that isn't the point). TH really was dropping knowledge but cig got the heavy support.
